Why can't we use the rpm ansible module? Also what happens if the package is missing, as it will be definitely missing on installations >4.4?

when using yum module dependencies are removed as well (such as vdsm), which are needed. I didn't see a parameter which allows to erase the package and not its dependencies, so I used shell instead
regarding missing package, I added ignore_errors (for using ovirt_openvswitch_pre.version as you suggested we'll need to populate facts again)

Well, nothing should depend on this package, that's why we are removing it. Aren't the facts populated before this step? I can see it being called before ovirt-host-upgrade so it should be enough to have this variable populated, anyway it is probably not needed with the ignore_errors.

After a discussion let's leave it this way. Thanks

I'd put there only EL8, because EL7 we don't upgrade and EL9 will already have 2.15
